Amos 8 is very telling of our nation these days…the poor & the needy…lovely young ladies & strong young men…searching for the word of the Lord, but never finding it. No one can remove from existence that which God has planted in this world for a reason that only he knows!

We need the poor and needy in the world for God’s will & plans to be realized. No matter how hard you try, you cannot legislate them away!

Matthew 26:11 “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.”

Mark 14:7 “The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.”

John 12:8 “You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
